Abstract

The present specification discloses an incoming/outgoing-talk unit having an ear-hook unit, a cartilage conduction vibration unit that makes contact with ear cartilage in a state where the hook unit is hooked to the ear, an outgoing-talk unit, and a unit for performing short-range wireless communication with the mobile telephone. Further disclosed is an incoming-talk unit having an ear-hook unit, and a cartilage conduction vibration unit for transmitting cartilage conduction from outside of ear cartilage in a state where the hook unit is hooked to the ear. Also disclosed is an incoming-talk unit having a three-dimensional viewing adjustment unit, a temple having a unit for adjusting contact of eyesight-adjusting eyeglasses with the temple when the unit is superposedly mounted on the eyesight-adjusting eyeglasses; and an audio information output unit provided to the temple.

Claims (7)

1. A structure for a cartilage conduction hearing device with air conduction sound generation from the device reduced, the structure comprising:

a chassis of the device;

an audio signal source arranged to generate signal for cartilage conduction, the audio signal source being located within the chassis;

an incoming-talk unit detached from the chassis, the incoming-talk unit including a cartilage conduction unit for making contact with ear cartilage, a cartilage conduction vibration source arranged to transmit vibration to the cartilage conduction unit, and a communication unit arranged to transmit the signal from the audio signal source to the cartilage conduction vibration source, wherein the incoming-talk unit detached from the chassis is of a pencil-like shape and functioning like a pencil.

2. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the communication unit includes a wireless communication unit arranged to transmit the signal from the audio signal source to the cartilage conduction vibration source.

3. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the incoming-talk unit of the pencil-like shape is capable of being attached to the chassis and alternatively detached from the chassis.

4. The structure according to claim 3 , wherein the cartilage conduction unit is located at one end of the incoming-talk unit of the pencil-like shape, and wherein the cartilage conduction unit is seated at a corner of the chassis with the incoming-talk unit of the pencil-like shape integrated with the chassis.
